Visgoth: Zeus replacement

[MidKnight]

I made a concept for this a while ago, spurred by annoyance of having the zeus look different from all the other units in the glaive -> crabe chain

Today, I finally got around to modelling it. I used spherewarrior as a base. What do you think?

Status: Revision 1 - partially uvmapped

Pics:

the weapon flips over soldier. The bot handles it bazooka-style

With an old friend.

I really want to stick a C&C3 style railgun on this. whaddya think?

[smoth]

model on a sort of cradle on the shoulder. Make it part of the torso.

[Pxtl]

His hands are different sizes. That's kinda weird.

[MidKnight]

@smoth: how? a cylinday?, two grooves holding it?

@pxtl: i could make the hands equal shaped/sized. I just liked it this way, because you don't get any "whats that useless appendage doing there?" comments . Please, tell me whether you prefer equally shaped hands or not

[REVENGE]

You could probably make it fit, but as an aside, could you do maybe one WiP thread only like cremuss/swiw/etc?

[MR.D]

Need to make that left hand sectional with a mitten so you can animate him grabbing onto the bazooka and his hand wrapping around it, instead of that big blobby hand clipping into the barrel which is how I picture it with how that hand is atm.

whats that bar at the back of that bot?

a railgun.

Or maybe a lightning gun.

I'd really like to do that, but there are 3 problems with that:
1: Then I can't use Spherewarrior's texture.
2: ATM the gun isn't long enough for it to properly grip it without holding the barrel, and if I make it longer, it'd look like a pikeman or something.
3: I'm too lazy/inexperienced to model a proper robo-mitten

could you do maybe one WiP thread only like cremuss/swiw/etc?

I made a poll. New threads won out.

maybe if enough people vote for 1 big thread, I'll just make 1 big thread, idk.

[Hoi]

a big thread is much better, do that

[MidKnight]

Okay then. I ask this:

could a moderator please merge all my threads into one thread, in chronological order (leaving, if possible, a couple reserved posts on the front page for me to post stuff)?

or should i just start posting them in one thread now?
or should i make one new thread, post all my old and new stuff there, and get the mods to lock all other threads?

[Peet]

Merging them all would result in posts individually sorted chronologically...I suggest you start a new single thread and ask one of us to lock the current ones.

[MidKnight]

okay
will do, just please don't lock them until i say so, I need to transfer info (unless editting is allowed on locked posts, in that case, feel free! )

[Peet]

It's not, so I await your pm.
